Hello list,
A helpful list member noted to me:
"??? Not sure what you mean here. The newspaper article was in ***July***
while the Dresden meteorite fell in ***June***. The times don't seem to
match either, unless there is an issue here of different time zones."
Your are correct, thanks for the note. The time, one month later, is within
12 minutes. Well within the margin of eyewitness error, the meteor seems to
have exploded in the same spot and the final papers claim meteorites were
found in and around Dresden. The final paper I had posted noted three pieces
were found, and three pieces of Dresden (Ontario) were found. However,
unless their is a catalog of meteorites is in error here, unlikely, the
papers do not refer to Dresden. If anyone saved them, they should remove the
Dresden meteorite notes.
